Today in the 13th door a little beauty that is often forgotten. Once built in India, she is now the oldest English frigate still afloat. We are talking about HMS Trincomalee

HMS Trincomalee

More infos about her here:

Laid down in Honourable East India Company's shipyard in Bombay in 1816, together with her sister ship HMS AMPHIRITE and launched on 12 October 1817, TRINCOMALEE was one of 47, 38-gun Leda class frigates built between 1800 and 1830. Nearly all of them were of oak, but the two Bombay ships were made of Malabar teak.

Her building had been delayed by the plans being lost on HMS JAVA which was sunk by USS CONSTITUTION, a second set of plans not arriving in India until two years later.

When TRINCOMLAEE reached Britain in 1819, she went straight into 'ordinary' for 26 years in Portsmouth harbour. In 1845 she was commissioned for service in areas which lacked adequate coaling stations for the new steam vessels. Her stern was modified to an elliptical style, and she was reclassified as a 26-gun Corvette. In 1847 she served in the West Indies and then in the Eastern Campaign of the Crimean War. After patrols in the Pacific she was again paid off into ordinary in 1857. Three years later she became a Drill Ship for Royal Naval Volunteers. Between 1860 and 1897 she was moored, mast-less and with deckhouses in Sunderland then West Hartlepool and finally in Southampton. She was sold to shipbreakers in 1897.

The philanthropist G Wheatly Cobb bought HMS TRINCOMLAEE to replace the training ship FOUDROYANT which had foundered two years earlier on its way to take up a similar role, and renamed the ship FOUDROYANT. She was moored in Falmouth and later at Milford Haven and finally at Portsmouth. On Cobb's death on 1932 she was managed by the IMPLACABLE Committee of the Society for Nautical Research.

During the war the vessel was taken over for the training of Sea Cadets. In 1947 she was given back to her owners and became an adventure training base for Sea Cadets, Sea rangers, Sea Scouts and other youth groups. From 1957 to 1987 she was moored at the entrance to Haslar Creek, Portsmouth. The Foudroyant Trust later moved her further north to avoid her being rammed by submarines. Training was discontinued due to the poor state of the ship and insufficient trainees. In 1987 the Foudroyant Trust transferred the ship to Hartlepool where a private yard had just paid off after restoring HMS WARRIOR 1860. In 1990 the Trincomalee was restored under the Trincomalee Trust. In 2016 the National Museum of the Royal Navy took responsibility for oversight of Trincomalee.

The Civil Nuclear Roadmap includes exploring the construction of a major new power station, £300 million ($382 million) of investment to produce an advanced uranium fuel and "smarter regulation".

Taken together, the measures would quadruple UK nuclear power by 2050 to 24 gigawatts, enough to provide a quarter of the UK's electricity needs.

"Nuclear is the perfect antidote to the energy challenges facing Britain -- it's green, cheaper in the long-term and will ensure the UK's energy security," said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

"This is the right long-term decision and is the next step in our commitment to nuclear power, which puts us on course to achieve net zero by 2050 in a measured and sustainable way," he added.

The government says it is committed to the 2050 net zero target but has come under fire after announcing last summer it will issue "hundreds" of new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.

It is also grappling with a cost-of-living crisis partly caused by the spike in oil and gas prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Energy minister Claire Coutinho said the plans would mean the UK would "never again be held to ransom over energy by tyrants like Vladimir Putin".

The government said the proposals represented "the biggest expansion of nuclear power for 70 years", adding it would "reduce electricity bills, support thousands of jobs and improve UK energy security".

Construction

The most eye-catching proposal is the possible construction of another power station as big as Sizewell in east England, construction on which is due to begin this year, and Hinkley in west England, which is currently under construction.

Both power stations will be capable of powering six million homes each.

The UK currently has nine operational nuclear reactors on five sites but many are nearing the end of their operating lives.

Six reactors on three sites have been shut down since 2021 and will be dismantled.

However, operator EDF announced in March that it was extending the life of two British power plants -- Heysham 1 and Hartlepool.

The UK intends to build up to eight new reactors by 2050.

The government said on Sunday it will invest up to £300 million into producing the HALEU fuel required for new high-tech reactors, and which currently is only commercially produced in Russia.

"The UK will lead the way from its North West production hub to provide the world with this form of uranium fuel, with the first plant aiming to be operational early in the next decade," said the government.

Regulators will also be allowed to assess projects while designs are finalised in a loosening of rules aimed at speeding along construction plans.

It looks like Hamas has begun terror attacks on the West.

These people are so terrible that other Islamic nations reject them. They are shunned by dozens of countries before they sink into the soft belly of the West - and then the daggers are drawn ...

The English are a minority in their own Capital. How much longer will they exist at all?

A Farmer and his Prize Heifer

Unknown

about 1844

Oil on Canvas

This painting shows Maria, a five-year-old prize heifer bred by farmer Ralph Walker of Middleton Grange near West Hartlepool in County Durham. The figure holding the rope is Henry Hamilton, a servant who had been with Ralph Walker’s family for over forty years. Maria weighed 154 stone and was slaughtered on 2 April 1844.

The last two posts were meant to be scheduled for tomorrow, oh well onto todays anniversaries....

January 17th 1883 saw the birth of the writer Compton Mackenzie.

I've explained in mainy posts that just because you weren't born on Scottish soil, it doesn't mean you are not Scottish, well I'll leave it to the Scottish writer Andro Linklater this time tp exoplain Compton Mackenzies credentails, not that they should be needed. Liklater penned a biography on Mackenzie, so is more than qualified;

“(He) wasn’t born a Scot, and he didn’t sound like a Scot. But nevertheless his imagination was truly Scottish.”

Edward Montague Compton Mackenzie was born in West Hartlepool in 1883 and raised in London. His was a theatrical family – many of whose members used Compton as their stage name. His grandfather Henry Compton was a well-known Shakespearean actor of the Victorian era. A history graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, the young Mackenzie published his first novel in 1912 but his writing career was stalled by the outbreak of war.

He quickly signed up and saw action at Gallipoli. In 1915 he was recruited into the fledgling Secret Service and was posted across the eastern Mediterranean. Although he would later be awarded a knighthood, Mackenzie was no darling of the British establishment. In 1932 he was hauled before the courts and fined for breaching the Official Secrets Act for writing Greek Memories – a candid reflection of his time as a spy. At a time when the British public was scarcely aware of the security services, Mackenzie freely outlined its organisation. It was withdrawn from sale and was only published in full as recently as 2011.

In 1933 he took revenge on the Secret Service with Water on the Brain, an obvious swipe at the Service. Despite its satirical cover, he managed to include a few genuine morsels – such as the fact that the chief of the Service always wrote in green ink. At story’s end, the location of the Secret Service’s headquarters is revealed in a spy thriller and the spooks have to move out. The building becomes an asylum for “the servants of bureaucracy who have been driven mad in the service of the country”. By this point Mackenzie was already resident in Scotland and had become close friends with the poet Hugh MacDiarmid and the influential writer, thinker and adventurer Robert Cunninghame Graham. Together they helped establish the National Party of Scotland in 1928, which emerged in 1934 as the modern SNP.

Mackenzie settled on the Hebridean island of Barra and concentrated on his most ambitious project, The Four Winds of Love. Gavin Wallace, another of his biographers, later wrote: “The Four Winds of Love, published in six volumes between 1937 and 1945 and containing almost 1 million words, is one of the most ambitious Scottish novels of the twentieth century, an enormous historical odyssey which anatomizes the politics of peripheral nationalism both throughout Europe and in Britain, again through semi-autobiographical character development.”

But it was Mackenzie’s comic novels that won him wider fame and fortune. Whisky Galore, based on a real-life incident in Eriskay in 1941, was first adapted for the big screen by Ealing studios and released to popular acclaim in 1948. The enduring appeal of the novel was later summed up by one Scotsman literary critic:

“So what if it perpetrates the old, cliched ‘Brigadoon’ myth? Scots, English, American or Martian, no-one can resist this tale of ill-gotten whisky gain on a Scottish island in wartime. It’s simply hilarious.”

Such was Mackenzie’s status as an elder statesman of letters he was knighted in 1952 and remained a much-respected cultural commentator for the rest of his life. In later years he lived in Drummond Place, in Edinburgh’s New Town, where he died from cancer aged 89, in 1972, he is buried on Barra.

Lavish tributes followed. Dr Robert McIntyre, president of the SNP and the first Scottish nationalist elected to parliament, described Mackenzie as “the Grand Old Man of Scotland”. Novelist Eric Linklater said he was a “consummate stylist, who, unlike most writers, also lived with style.”

There are many Mackenzie quotes I could call on, but my favourite is

“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whisky makes it go round twice as fast.”

FYI, Jenna Louise Coleman is starring in a play that begins previews in London in a month and runs through Marchh 2023, so either her role isn't very big in the new film, or the film itself isn't a big deal. Maybe it's a short film? I just don't see how she has time to do both.

yes the play is a west end production starring her and aidan turner called lemons lemons lemons lemons lemons or simply "the lemons play." it goes into previews in just 2 weeks in london and is currently in rehearsals.

to clarify, the film oliver is working on with jenna right now is not a short film, its casting notices are all describing it as a full length feature film, with production dates through the end of january.

jenna has second billing in the film, so it is a significant role. the person who told me this says they believe oliver has first billing and is the star of the film, but wasn't 100% sure.

wrt jenna's schedule one of several scenarios is possible here:

1. jenna has already filmed all her scenes for the film known as "jackdaw" note this is probably not the final title. but the film had been in production for at least 3 weeks prior to the holiday break which according to costar thomas turgoose's instagram stories went on right up until dec 22 or 23.

imo this is the most likely scenario: jamie front loaded all of jenna's scenes in the production schedulein order to accommodate her rehearsal schedule for the play.

2. as the film is scheduled to wrap at the end of january, jenna may be burning the candle at both ends this month dividing her time between beginning the play and shooting her last scenes in the film.

the reason i think this is less likely than scenario 1 is because the film locations are in the hartlepool area over 5 hours drive away from london. however with the use of an understudy one or two days a week in the play which would be the normal thing anyway, she could still be working on the film on her days off from the play.

3. jenna is a literal time traveller and uses portals in time and space to do both at the same time ; )

@oswincoleman and anyone else who keeps better track of jenna's comings and goings please feel free to chime in!

Movies I watched this Week # 155 (Year 3/Week 51):

My first Singaporean film, Anthony Chen's award-winning debut feature, Ilo Ilo. There is a new sub-genre emerging in recent years, realistic dramas about live-in maids and domestic workers (Many from South America and from South-East Asia: 'Lina from Lima', 'The second mother', 'La Nana', 'Roma', 'La cieniga', 'A simple life', and also others I haven't seen). Most are terrific, and so is this one, with 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

[That Wikipedia list of movies with 100% score on RT is often a reliable indicator for the type of fair I like to spend my time with]. Highly recommended - 9/10.

🍿

2 more by Aki Kaurismäki:

🍿 My 10th tragic feature by him, and possibly my favorite, The match factory girl. The great Kati Outinen is a sad and lonely young woman who has a one-night stand. Minimalist, bleak and unrelenting, this was no Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. Considered by some as the "Best Finnish film". 9/10.

🍿 To Each His Own Cinema, a 2007 anthology of 34 3-minute shorts by different directors about how movies inspired them. Takeshii Kitano, the Dardenne brothers, Zhang Zimou, Jane Campion, Atom Egoyan, Gus Van Sant, Lars von Trier, Roman Polanski, Michael Cimino, David Cronenberg, Wong Kar-wai, Ken Loach, Claude Lelouche, David Lynch, Etc. It was commissioned to celebrate 60th anniversary of The Cannes Film Festival.

The often-repetitive stories were about old cinema houses out in the country, ticket taking, projectionists, watching Bresson and Fellini in small villages, and similar wet dreams for cineastes. A nice touch was that the credits were shown only at the end of each short, so you could try to guess who directed it while watching.

Most of the films were not very good. Among the few stand outs were Hou Hsiao-hsien (A family in 1940s Taiwan goes to see a film in a suddenly decrepit theater), Aki Kaurismäki (Foundry workers on lunch break enjoy a Lumiére silent film of workers on lunch break), Abbas Kiarostami (Iranian women watch 'Romeo and Juliet' and cry), Wim Wenders (The inhabitants of a remote Congo village watch Black Hawk Down) and The Coen Brothers (A cowboy resembling Llewellyn Moss at a repertory art house, debating if he should see Renoir or Nuri Bilge Ceylon).

🍿

Ridley Scott's first stream-of-consciousness film, Boy and Bicycle. Made in 1962, when he was 23, and starring his 16 year old brother, Tony [who would jump to his death from the San Pedro Bridge exactly 50 years later]. A boy skips school, and wanders round the empty docks of his West Hartlepool industrial seaside town. Like a working class scene from 'Dubliners'.

It took Ridley 15 years before he was able to direct his next movie, during which time he specialized in producing commercial advertising. His most famous one, The bike Ride, an advert for bread, also featured a boy on a bike. It was later voted as the 'Best British Advert of all time'.

🍿

My 7th and 8th films by Sofia Coppola:

🍿 Priscilla, another pretty young woman living in a privileged gilded cage (like Coppola's herself did). A beautiful romance without sex, and with an oppressive power imbalance. "The Elvis" and the 14 year old girl [and without a single Elvis song]. 7/10.

🍿 In her shallow The Bling Ring, a group of celebrities-wannabes Valley Girls burgles from Hollywood celebrities homes, and become mini-celebrities themselves. It was pretty, but I couldn't find any deeper meaning there.

🍿

Danish cinema produced dozens of 'Danish Noir' works in the 1940's, during the Nazi occupation, and the 1950's. Mordets melodi ("Melody of murder") is considered Denmark's first horror film, and is my first movie directed by the great Bodil Ipsen. [The Danish "Oscars" are actually called "The Bodil's" after her and the other female influencer, Bodil Kjer].

Like Fritz Lang's 'M', a crazed, ambi-sexual killer continues to strangle women while singing a luring French cabaret song, and the dark, dramatic sets are visually stark.

🍿

Bradley Cooper's new adulatory bio-pic Maestro, about the larger-than-life, overbearing genius that was Leonard Bernstein. Uncanny recreation of his life, but mostly his bisexuality vs. his love for his wife and family. Carey Mulligan was tremendous in it. So was Gustav Mahler. This is the year of the “Great Man” in movies, Napoleon, Oppenheimer, Ferrari, Bernstein… (Photo Above).

🍿

First-watch earlier Buñuel X 2:

🍿 Nazarin, Buñuel‘s own favorite work, about a saintly priest, who mistakenly tries to follow in Christ's footsteps. But all his literal interpretations of the dogmas are proven to lead him, as well as his small coterie of freaks and miscasts, into misfortunes. One of the last of his Mexican films, this religious parable is the one that convinced the Spanish censors to allow him to return from exile.

🍿 Bunuel's only documentary (pseudo-documentary rather), Land Without Bread, describing (exaggerated) misery in a remote Spanish town. Extreme poverty, hunger and destitute rarely seen on film.

🍿

Dil Dhadakne Do is an Indian soap opera, staged on a first-class Turkish cruise ship in the Mediterranean, directed by a woman, and narrated by a dog. It's a 3-hour long American-style 'Rich and famous' sit-com of a large family, full of expected love intrigues of bland characters.

I was hoping for another hopping Song and Dance story, but there were only 3 dance numbers in it, Gallan Goodiyaan, Girls like to dance and the final credit scene.

🍿

3 atypical Christmas fairy tales:

🍿 My second unusual anime by Satoshi Kon, Tokyo Godfathers (after 'Paprika'). An imaginative Christmas Miracle parable of The Three Magis. Except that here they are three unlikely homeless heroes, an alcoholic, a trans woman, and a teenage runaway who likes to spit on people from above. They discover an abandoned newborn while searching through the garbage for presents. Emotional and unorthodox. 8/10.

🍿 The Bloody Olives, a Belgian meta Film Noir of a husband, his wife and her lover who keep murdering each other again and again while decorating their Christmas tree. Full of twists and double crosses.

🍿 "One morning, as Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a giant banana..."

Malcolm Tucker's Oscar-winning parody Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life was not too convincing: It's too easy to parody Kranz Fuckfuck.

🍿

First watch: Truffaut's second installment of the Antoine Doinel's saga, Antoine and Colette. The boy of '400 Blows' is now 17, and awkwardly falls in love for the first time. Youthfully charming.

🍿

2 by Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli:

🍿 The first half of Dream scenario had me in stitches: Such an original thought experiment, and so unhesitatingly fresh. But exactly at mid-point, when everybody's dreams turn into nightmares, the story progressed into a underwhelming flirtation with broader contemporary themes, fame, cancel culture, public perception. The only anchor left in Paul's life is memories of his lovely wife, Julianne Nicholson. 6/10.

🍿 Checking out his only previous feature, Sick of Myself: That too was a story with an intriguing premise that opened very strong, end completely fizzled halfway. A young barista lives anonymously and unnoticed, being ignored by her self-centered boyfriend and acquaintances. One day at work, a woman is being mauled by a dog and she's the only one jumping to help her. While covered in blood, she is suddenly the center of attention. The rush causes her to start an insane dive into self-mutilation. The second half centered on narcissism, influencers, victimhood and social media, and was highly disappointing. My 5th film with Anders Danielsen Lie. 4/10.

🍿

"Chip, you know how I hate the brown word"...

My first black comedy from John Waters' commercial period, Serial mom.

With Waters regulars Chesty Morgan, Tracy Lords, Mink Stole, Patty Hearst and Ricky Lake [But it could do better with less Fat jokes]. Also, with a lawyer named Nazelrod and a panties-sniffer named Marvin Pickles. The hot rock and roll girl band is called Camel Lips. So the anti-establishment humour is very elementary.

🍿

“I Didn’t Come To Rescue Rambo From You. I Came Here To Rescue You From Him”…

First watch: I did not expect Rambo: first blood to be that watchable, with such excellent Jerry Goldsmith score. A traumatized Vietnam vet feels spat on and maligned. And all the years I thought it but a thoughtless, jingoistic violent flick.

🍿

3 more stand-ups:

🍿 Trevor Noah: Where Was I, his latest stand-up opens with his best line upfront: "I really enjoy every day in America right now. The same way you'd enjoy your last day on earth". It has a few other good jokes, but otherwise it's pretty tame. The venue, The Fox Theater in Detroit, looks magnificent. 4/10

🍿 Sane man, my first stand-up with heavy-smoker, politically incorrect Bill Hicks. I heard the name before, but never seen him perform.

🍿 So, for the second time in a week, I re-watched Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure, a contagiously funny presentation.

🍿

4 Shorts:

🍿 Agnès Varda's Les Fiancés du pont Mac Donald, a Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton-inspired silent comedy from 1962. With JL Godard and Anna Karina.

🍿 Re-watch: From David Firth's, the creator of 'Salad Fingers', the unsettling Cream. Inventing a single solution to all of the world's problems.

The credit page at the end is just as hilariously expansive as the bitter story itself.

🍿 Figs, a gentle 81-year-old black woman who survived a life of oppression, from the cotton fields of Louisiana to becoming a teacher in South Los Angeles.

🍿 The girl with the yellow stockings, a light German story of a young man asking his girlfriend to marry him again and again.

🍿

One I couldn't finish even after trying hard for nearly 20 minutes: The toothless, 1990's Clintonite-lite, political romance Speechless. Trying to cash in on the then real-life hookup between James Carville and Mary Matalin, it was awful on every level.

🍿

(My complete movie list is here).

694) The North East Party, NEP, Partia Północno-Wschodnia - regionalistyczna partia polityczna w północno-wschodniej Anglii, założona w 2014 roku przez grupę 16 osób, w tym byłego posła Partii Pracy, Hiltona Dawsona i 7 członków partii FAIR. Partia prowadzi ogólnie kampanię na rzecz lepszego porozumienia dla północno-wschodniej Anglii i jest zaangażowana w zdecentralizowane zgromadzenie na północnym wschodzie z uprawnieniami podobnymi do tych w Walii, Szkocji i Irlandii Północnej, jeśli zostanie to zatwierdzone w referendum. Mówi, że organy takie jak North East Combined Authority nie mają mandatu do przyjmowania nowych obowiązków, a przedstawiciele muszą być wybierani bezpośrednio. Dawson ustąpił ze stanowiska przewodniczącego partii w czerwcu 2016 roku i został zastąpiony przez Johna Taita. Dawson pozostaje aktywny w partii, przyjmując rolę sekretarza i oficera nominującego. Partia ma dwóch wybranych radnych powyżej poziomu rady parafialnej, wszyscy w Radzie Hrabstwa Durham. NEP został założony w maju 2014 roku i jest powszechnie postrzegana jako siostrzana partia Yorkshire Party. W grudniu 2014 r. partia zdobyła swoje pierwsze miejsce w radzie w lokalnych wyborach uzupełniających do Rady Miejskiej Peterlee w hrabstwie Durham. Dwa miesiące później partia zdobyła drugie miejsce w radzie w kolejnych wyborach uzupełniających. Po tych sukcesach partia rywalizowała i wygrała kilka wyborów uzupełniających zarówno w hrabstwie Durham, jak i w lokalnych radach parafialnych w latach 2015-17. W swoich pierwszych wyborach powszechnych w 2015 roku Partia Północno-Wschodnia rywalizowała o cztery miejsca w parlamencie, kandydując na kandydatów w Easington, Newcastle upon Tyne North, Redcar i Stockton North. Najlepszy wynik osiągnął w Easington, gdzie kandydatka Susan McDonnell zajęła piąte miejsce z siedmiu kandydatów i otrzymała 2,3% głosów. W wyborach samorządowych hrabstwa Durham w maju 2017 r. Partia wystawiła 14 kandydatów na radnych hrabstwa i 27 kandydatów na radnych miasta. Jego kandydaci zdobyli 3 mandaty w Radzie Hrabstwa Durham (2 mandaty dla Peterlee West, 1 mandat dla Passfield) i 23 mandaty w radach miejskich hrabstwa Durham, w tym 20 z 22 mandatów w Radzie Miejskiej Peterlee, 2 z 8 miejsc w okręgu północnym w Radzie Parafialnej Horden i 1 z 15 miejsc w Radzie Parafialnej Shotton. W wyborach powszechnych w 2017 roku partia startowała tylko w jednym okręgu wyborczym, Easington. Susan McDonnell prawie potroiła swoją liczbę głosów od 2015 r., zaoszczędziła depozyt z 6,6% głosów i zajęła trzecie miejsce, wyprzedzając kandydatów UKIP, Liberalnych Demokratów i Zielonych. Partia wystawiła dwóch kandydatów w wyborach powszechnych w 2019 roku. Partia nominowała swojego członka-założyciela Hiltona Dawsona w Hartlepool na pierwsze parlamentarne wybory uzupełniające w latach 20. XX wieku. Przyjechał na dziesiątym miejscu. W wyborach lokalnych w 2021 r. Partia zatrzymała dwóch swoich radnych w Radzie Hrabstwa Durham w okręgach Passfield i Peterlee West. Pomimo utraty drugiego miejsca w tym drugim okręgu, zdobyli oba miejsca w Peterlee East, co dało im łącznie czterech radnych.

Lista krzeseł: Lp. - Imię i nazwisko - Okres pełnienia funkcji - Uwagi:

1. Hilton Dawson - czerwiec 2014 – czerwiec 2016 - Członek założyciel The North East Party

2. John Tait - czerwiec 2016 – lipiec 2017 - 2015 kandydat do parlamentu z okręgu Stockton North
